Officials did not say which drugs were allegedly in the pair's possession. Schedule I drugs can include opioids such as heroin, hallucinogens or psychedelics like LSD, depressants or stimulants, and are characterized as "drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse" by the Drug Enforcement Administration. In Tennessee, Schedule VI drugs include marijuana and THC. Marijuana, for medical or recreational use, is illegal in the state.
"The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence," the post ended.
TLC's "1000-lb Sisters" follows the personal lives and weight loss journeys of Halterman, her sister Tammy Slaton and their family. Halterman has two children with ex-husband Michael Halterman.
The series premiered in 2020 and ended its fifth season in February.
